(184) Nancy Richer of Richer Movement on Teaching Online
Conversations on Dance
05/11/20 • 51 min
This week we talk with Nancy Richer, founder of Richer Movement. Nancy Richer was born and raised in New York City and danced with The Royal Danish Ballet, The Suzanne Farrell Ballet, The Los Angeles Ballet, and Twyla Tharp Dance. By founding Richer Movement, she developed her movement method based on the warm ups and cross training she did during her career as a professional ballerina. Nancy was ahead of the curve, teaching ballet and movement classes online before COVID-19 shifted dance training online for the rest of us. We talk with her about tips and tricks to navigating this time as a student and a teacher, online teaching practices, and how to shift your perspective when you aren't able to be in the studio.
